About Emma James

Emma James is the author of the completed Hell's Bastard series, a jaw-dropping, highly addictive, unpredictable, sexy, and very twisted dark suspense/thriller series and also the much-loved Men of Ocean Beach series.
Emma writes in multi-genre and loves to keep the reader guessing with all the twists and turns found in her stories. Always expect the unexpected.
One consistent thing with her stories is love will always rise from the ashes.
Marley, her black Labrador, is the inspiration for Bear in Men of Ocean Beach series. Morrison, the family pet rescue cat, who has many OCDs, will be grabbing some of the limelight in a future standalone because the dude rocks the 'tude.
She likes Pina Coladas, but not getting caught in the rain.
Emma takes regular zen breaks from her writing to listen to and stare at the ocean because you only live once, might as well stare at the sea when you can.

$3.99

★★★★★ "This is a well written emotional read." ★★★★★

★★★★★ "It’s a heartbreaker with some laugh-out-loud moments." ★★★★★

One Night.
One Epiphany.
It Was A Game Changer.

Retro Cooper's second chance walks into Joe's Bar, causing memories of their past to flash before his eyes like Polaroid images.
He thought he was losing his mind.
First problem: He's holding another girl in his arms.
Second problem: He needs time to remember the girl he forgot—a head trauma will do that to a guy.
Retro is going to lay it all on the line for love.
Will his second chance become his happily-ever-after?

This story is rich in humor, emotion, twists, surprises—and yes—there is some horizontal dancing between the sheets, and it might sizzle.

All books in the series need to be read in order as all characters play a big part in each other's books.

PRAISE FOR A LITTLE FAITH

6 Star Review
Wow ! Wow ! Wow! A Little Faith by Emma James was astonishing! This book came as a complete surprise and kept me glued to the pages. The characters jumped out of the pages and pulled me into their world.
-Smut Book Junk Book Reviews

The way the author binds these guys together and makes them and their lives completely realistic is a stroke of genius.
- Books Laid Bare

A stunningly beautiful story.
Emma James has written such a beautiful powerful story that will keep you engrossed from the first to the very last word. It is a story that revolves around five close friends and how they are dealing with a tragedy that touched them all six years earlier. Throw into the mix a young woman, who is also dealing with the consequences of the event.
These five men will share a bond that will never tear them apart. Fall in love with Harley, Retro, Levi, Keanu and Text(Jase). They are the Men Of Ocean Beach.
- Maria Alexander

Where do I start..... WHY DID I TAKE SO LONG TO READ THIS BOOK ARRHHHHHH
I started a Little Faith and couldn't put it down - It will make you feel, love and cry.
- Selena

It took me a little while to jump on the Emma James train but I am glad I did. This book has it all. Emotions will run wild but it is worth the read big time, I love her writing style she also knows how to catch you and draw you in so you don't want to put the books down.

The Hell's Bastard Wedding Novel

You finished the Hell's Bastard series. Loved it, but wanted to see Edge marry Whisper.
Read on.
Edge like you've never seen him before.
Torque like you never thought possible.
And a whole pile of twists and turns thrown in because it wouldn't be a Hell's Bastard wedding without them.
Oh, and you might have found yourself a new couple to ship.
#teamtora

Will Whisper get to her wedding on time?
Not. A. Chance.

"More stars need to be an option. This book was EVERYTHING!"

"The whole way through this book there is a fabulous humorous element; from witty comments and thoughts to the fun banter between characters, as well as some very funny scenes- especially with the children. I laughed out loud so often, it was very cathartic."

"The banter is awesome, I was laughing so hard I scared my dog."

"My first 5-star rating this year and its well deserved. This book was everything that was promised and so much more."

"I actually have no words to describe the brilliance of this book."

"Emma James is a wonderful writer and will lead you through a maize of exciting windows just when you think you know what’s going to happen she whips you off in another direction."

All Whisper wants to do is get to her wedding ceremony on time, but a series of unfortunate events delay her, leaving Edge to the groomsmens' humor. Because what he doesn't know would have him racing home to Whisper's side. It's not like he overreacts where his woman and his family are concerned.

Torque and Boxer are in charge of making sure everything runs smoothly, and the bride gets to say her wedding vows on time. But, Torque's being distracted by a golden-haired beauty who makes him think of sunflowers and shampoo adverts.

Torque's about to learn all about destiny, and Edge is about to learn that parenting can throw you curveballs when you least expect it.

Meanwhile, the nearly nine-year-old next door thinks he's in love—with Edge's daughter.

Oh, boy!

Author Note: I promised my reader group Edge and Whisper (Hell's Bastard series) would get a wedding story, but it may have started one way. Then Torque began to talk to me—and he can be very persuasive—and then... well, you had better one click and discover for yourself. In a world, we can't fully explain, anything truly is possible, if you believe in the impossible.

*Reader Note*
Each book in the Men of Ocean Beach series must be read in order because all of the characters are strongly involved in each sequel.

This novel does contain strong sexual content for mature 18+ readers.

PRAISE FOR HOPE IS LOST

You'll have moments of joy, you'll laugh, you'll cry, your heart will flutter and you may even make some life long friends. But believe me when I say you'll take something away with you when you leave. And you'll always end up coming back!
My head is still reeling from what I just read, I'm at that stage where I just want to start over again. I can't praise this book enough, utterly brilliant!!
This series is A MUST READ!!
~ Sassy Book Lovers, Stacey Clifford

Wow what can I say about Hope Is Lost except WOW. I loved this book even better than ‘A Little Faith’. I have waited months for this book and the wait was worth it.
Just like in A Little Faith I laughed, I cried, I screamed and yelled. I also fell more in love with Keanu and think I may now have a real soft spot for him.
I'm really looking forward to Joy is Found but not to the wait but if it is as good as the first two (which I know it will be) the wait will be worth it. Please go and give this new Australian author some love and enjoy her series but remember to start with A Little Faith first.
~ Two Peas In A Pod, Donna Miller

What a fantastic read! I read it in one night and didn’t put it down until I had finished. For a sophomore effort, the author has kept the same writing style and stayed true to the characters I fell in love with in her first book. I love all the guys and am looking forward to reading each of their stories (especially Text). This is another book that I highly recommend, just amazing!! *****5 stars
~ Book Boyfriends Rock, Karen Lee

This is not your typical fairy tale, boy meets girl and they live happily ever after. There is more involvement into it. Emma does real great job into working each character up. No detail was left out or over thought. I highly look forward to more books in the future.
~ Kat’s Book Promotions, Jenni Crawford

James has done it again. Flawlessly transitioning between characters to give the reader a rich and exciting reading experience. Hope is Lost adds to another story that has you aching for more of the guys and gals of Ocean Beach.

Praise For Wrenched

All I know is the creator of all of this havoc (it's a $hitstorm for sure) is sitting back with popcorn watching it all play out and boy is it a doozie so far.

PRAISE FOR WARPED

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. A THRILLING, SUSPENSEFUL READ.
Oh, Emma James, you tore apart my heart in WRENCHED and now you have blown apart my mind with WARPED. Never have I read a series that has had the ability to twist and turn my heart and mind in all directions...
~Reading Is Our Satisfaction - Maria Alexander

Warped. Man, what a crazy ride this book is. I enjoy all of the authors work, but Warped really blew me away. This book had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I was just wanting to get through it as quickly as possible because I need to see what happens but also wanted to savor it and make it last longer. It was so good. Emma really created a wonderfully twisted world that I can't get enough of! I am eager for more.
